With these moves the Reds don't gain any payroll and they don't gain much if any. These moves not only keep payroll where the team likes but also fills many needs for this team. A RH power bat to place between Votto & Bruce, a young solidified SS of the future, and a catching prospect for 2010 to compliment Ryan Hanigan. What would you ask for?

I like some of your ideas... but calling Vlad a RH power bat is a bit misleading. His best days are long gone, and his only hope of continuing to be somewhat productive is as a DH. His knees, and more importantly his back, is all but shot. I would pass on him to be sure.

Ask yourself.. Are those players going to be here past their contracts? I think Wang and Bonderman together can put up numbers you are used to seeing with Harang and aguy like Masset or even Burton could be a cheaper option at a lower price tag. Heck you could even sign Capps.. Still not CoCo but you add offense which is where this team lacks.
